My heart was so saddened to hear about Rebecca. She was a great neighbor and I enjoyed our times with her and Gordon as we grew up on Mansion Drive with them. She was great to all of us neighborhood kids over the years. She continued to keep up with us and our lives as we grew up and moved away.

My heart was so saddened to hear about Rebecca. She was a great neighbor and I enjoyed our times with her and Gordon as we grew up on Mansion Drive with them. She was great to all of us neighborhood kids over the years. She continued to keep up with us and our lives as we grew up and moved away. But most importantly her treasured friendship and companionship with my mom meant the most. Mom and her became traveling buddies, enjoyed many a trip to shop, eat out and visit their friends and family! Rebecca has truly been a blessing to many and will be missed! My thoughts are with her family and friends who will miss her sweet smile and her caring nature.

Many wonderful memories of Rebecca at Fields United Methodist Church when I was young and growing up. She was a sweet lady and always looked her best. I know she is rejoicing with her savior and reunited with Gordon.

I have so many fond memories of living across the street from Mrs. McDaniel when I first moved to Clarksville in the early 70s. She and her husband both were always so kind and I always felt so welcome in their home. She use to make clothes for my Barbie dolls and always had something good to eat. She was such a loving, kind giving person.

Please know that I will always remember Rebecca for the love and care that she always showed to my brother and I growing up. She was like a grandmother to my son and I and we considered her family.
